Monster Hunter World x Mega Man Collaboration Announced

Over the weekend Capcom launched a special trailer for Monster Hunter World titled "Third Fleet." At the tail end of the trailer, it was revealed the game will have a Mega Man collaboration in the form of an 8-bit style Palico and Hunter gear. Skip to 2:45 in the video above to see it in action.

I'm shocked, yet pleased how much attention the Blue Bomber is getting since MvC:Infinite. It leaves me wondering, what next? It Mega Man X9 gets announced it could possibly push me over the edge to extreme geekery. My wife is already annoyed with how excited I am about Mega Man 11. Been listening to Mega Man music around the house, playing the games and added some wallpaper to my phone and laptop. She hates Mega Man. Hey, nobody's perfect.

In the Zelda fandom you have stories of wives loving Zelda and people naming their children after the characters. You have Zelda fans selling Zelda as the greatest quality ever obtained until it actually becomes that.

In Mega Man you get stories of wives not only simply being indifferent, not simply not liking but straight up hates Mega Man.

And you got people making a case that Mega Man has cheap value before even seeing its games' full trailer, not gameplay details, not even a gameplay demonstration at an event played by the public I said trailer.... A barely 2 minute trailer and some screenshots that may or may not be represented in the final game dated a year away at best... Sigh....

Chill, friend. i have heard of wives or husbands not liking Mario either. And i'm sure there's women, wives or moms, who like the blue bomber. Now, Roll might seem a bit outlandish of a name for one's children... Maybe Sonia or Alia would work, though...
